Gal's POV:
After I told my parents that I was going over to a friend's house for the night, me and Guy headed out.
Guy decided that we should (obviously) search in is universe, so we went there.
~IN GUY'S UNIVERSE~
We walked around a bit, and some spots seemed familiar to me, just that they were altered a bit. Then, out of nowhere, I just grabbed Guy's hand. "Sorry if you don't like holding hands, but it's for your own good. Just in case you faint again." I looked back in front of me, and before I did, I swear I saw Guy blush. That just reminded me of the whole hug thing. Maybe Guy liked me? And maybe I liked him...? No. Never. Maybe? No.
We stopped at a staircase leading somewhere random. I thought I heard voices coming from there. I didn't really want to risk anything, so I started to push Guy up the stairs, not really thinking about it for too long.
At the halfway point, Guy stopped himself. "Why are you pushing me up here first? Unless, in your universe, you're scared of something up here." Guy said. "No."
"Wait, is it... the Boogie Monster? Gal's scared of the Boogie Monster?!" I just kept pushing Guy up the stairs, and he laughed the whole time.
"DudePow's afraid of the Boogie Monster!" I shushed him, since I heard voices again.
I hid behind a wall, and practically dragged Guy with me. I saw some people walk out of a room but didn't see them all because I had to shush Guy again.
I looked back, and they were gone. I took this as a chance to investigate, and dragged Guy with me into the room they came out of. I went in and was surprised to see Coldfinger tied up on the ground. He was stripped of his boots and jackets, which were sitting on the counter, with weird stains on them. Coldfinger saw us and started moving around and bouncing. I ran up to him and untied the rope covering his mouth.
"THANK YOU SO MUCH, DUDEPOW! I-THEY-THEY'RE EVIL-THEY-" I crouched so I met his eyes. "Calm down, and try this again: what happened?" He took a few deep breaths.
"These people, th-they're planning to KILL you, SheZow! And they won't let any other villains in on the plan! I came up here and heard them talked, but they saw me and tied me up. Not to mention, they took off my boots and jacket!" He took another deep breath.
Planning to kill SheZow? Why? I looked at Guy, who seemed like he was panicking. "Hey, Guy, it's gonna be ok..." But it was too late, he already passed out. I just sighed.
I picked him up, and was about to head out, when Coldfinger stopped me. "You can't leave me here! They'll KILL me if they find out I told you everything!" I thought about it and untied him. Then I grabbed his shoulders. "On ONE condition: you're on OUR side, got it?" I said sternly.
"YES SIR!" He did a goofy little salute and ran to my side.
~BACK OUTSIDE~
Guy was up and walking again, and I held his hand even tighter than I held Coldfinger's. We said nothing much along the way, but then, out of nowhere, Guy asked me, "Gal-Er, DudePow, what are some of your hobbies?" I was surprised by the question and had to think about it.
'Hm, I play guitar.' I thought to myself. "Well, I like to play guitar." I said, kind of flabbergasted.
"You should teach me! Well, after we find my parents, heh heh..." Guy seemed really awkward, and it wasn't until then I realized: was he trying to FLIRT with me...? "Sure." I spoke.
"We should all stay at my-my friend's house." We all agreed and headed there. Dudley projected himself out my ring. "Where are you two?" "I'm staying the night at Guy's house. Luckily today is a Friday." Dudley nodded (or whatever computers do) and cut the projection.
Welp, things were about to get weird.
